1943 U.S. Army Air Forces training film # TF 1-3315, Eyes Aloft.
Description at the National Archives "This film honors the work of the Ground Observer Corps of the Aircraft Warning Service. Civilians from every American community were selected to scan the skies and report to central command suspicious air activity that could endanger their neighbors."
Description from Civil Air Patrol book Film and filmstrips: rules for obtaining, handling and returning: "Describes the work of the Aircraft Warning Service with particular reference to the function and importance of the Ground Observers. Shows the observers transmitting information to the control center, the filtering of that information on the plotting board, and the use of such data for interception purposes." FM 21-7 says it was made in 1943. (I would also bet that MGM made it.)
